Moja Love has announced that it will be reinstating ‘Rea Tsotella’ presenter, Bishop Israel Makamu.
The decision follows the announcement made by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) that charges against Bishop Israel Makamu have been dropped.
The broadcaster says a mediation was led by a professional and between the parties involved.
“After careful consideration and evaluation, the channel decided to reinstate Bishop Makamu to continue hosting Rea Tsotella. This follows a mediation, that was led by a professional, between the parties involved where they reconciled and agreed on a way forward.”
The station says the bishop is a favourite amongst the viewers.
“Bishop Makamu is great at his job and our audiences love him,” read a statement from Moja Love.
